“The president of the United States believes there is a rebellion brewing in the United States? That is such an audacious claim,” the attorney for Illinois argued. “Who are the rebels? Are the rebels well armed? .. There is no rebellion in Illinois.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/09/t...

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

SCARBOROUGH: The Nebraska Rural Health Association says at least 6 rural hospitals would have to close bc of the big beautiful bill

The 3rd thing DOJ listed to justify invasion of IL (after pointing to a flyer from June that said, "bring noisemakers") is a guy arrested for threats.

Even the news report they point to notes the last threat he made before his arrest was 7 weeks earlier.

US president Donald Trump appeared confused by a question over the possible suspension of habeas corpus, during an “antifa roundtable” event at the White House attended by conservative influencers.

THE DAY AHEAD: James Comey’s argument of “vindictive prosecution” - which could crush the Trump Admin’s criminal case — is inevitable. If not imminent

American citizen, read this. www.koin.com/news/portlan...

“If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” -Brett Kavanaugh (read the replies to this one for more of the story where this guy was threatened with a dog and violently assaulted) bsky.app/profile/patd...

This reporting in WSJ makes it highly likely that the district court will dismiss the indictment Lindsey Halligan brought against James Comey on the grounds of vindictive or selective prosecution. This is a claim that is very difficult to prove. But here is the evidence.

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

Fucking awful headline

If you’d like a more realistic assessment; I wrote about it today. www.pbump.net/o/dethawing-...

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

ive said this before but I cancelled my times subscription when I realized I frankly don’t give a shit about what’s happening on Ivy League campuses

I *teach* on an Ivy League campus and I don't care as much about the day-to-day happenings at Harvard as the New York Times.

But the middle-aged white guys who run the paper are obsessed with the campus, almost to the point of creepiness. Harvard ought to get a restraining order.

Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.
